Former Mumbai skippers, Rajput, Wadekar and Rege suggest a few measures that could help Mumbai Indians halt the Jamaican when they take on RCB tomorrow
All eyes will be on Chris Gayle as he sets his foot on the Wankhede Stadium to take on the Mumbai Indians tomorrow. This will be the West Indian’s first match after his record-breaking unbeaten 175 off 66 balls against Pune Warriors on Tuesday in Bangalore.
Already the leading run-scorer in the Pepsi India Premier League with 432 runs in eight matches, Gayle’s wicket will clearly be MI’s top priority. The southpaw, who has accumulated 344 runs in fours and sixes, has been successful in instilling fear among bowlers. On most of the occasions, the big-hitting West Indian has outplayed almost every bowler.
